Noble House Name: Ruvalis

 

 

Pledged to High House: Dzemael

 

 

Description: A small and relatively young noble house, Ruvalis was born over 200 years ago when the founding patriarch of the house- a battlefield commander at the time- succeeded in driving back a Dravanian raid against what seemed like impossible odds through impressive use of strategy. He was given a place within the nobility, pledged to House Dzemael. Since its inception, House Ruvalis has been a strong and outspoken supporter of House Dzemael to such a degree that lately, rumors have started to pop up that the house has been puppeted. It doesn’t help that there are more rumors: that the heir to the house was quietly exiled, and there was an arranged marriage between Ruvalis and House Chanteuse- hinting at a consolidation of power.

(Maariya Genhu was originally my proud Sultansworn of Ul'dah. After a long time of roleplay, many adventures and stories her plot drove her north and eventually found herself in Ishgard's service. I am always up for making new connections!)

Great thread. Hoping to be able to collaborate with other Ishgardian players again soon.

Noble House Name: Navarre

Pledging/Related/Serving to High House: Fortemps

Description: The great-grandfather of the current Lord of this lesser house was awarded knighthood for admirable service in numerous skirmishes with the Dravanians. Before receiving status of nobility, the family was renowned as breeders of rather exceptional chocobos, a tradition that has made the house quite wealthy as it continued into the present day.

Included Races: Wildwood Elezen.

Members:

Ser Percevains Navarre - The newly-invested lord of House Navarre. Previously disgraced on charges of heresy after the discovery of a draconian rosary among his belongings, he and a band of retainers fled to the tundra, eventually forming a small resistance against his step-father, Chatelaine. Though Chatelaine was slain under mysterious circumstances, Percevains' name was cleared both by the revelation that Chatelaine, not Percevains, was the owner of the pendant that and by Yvelont's confession to his murder. Despite this, there remains much uncertainty among the other vassals surrounding Percevains' tumultuous succession to head of the Navarre household. This puts the young lord in a precarious position regarding his brother, as any attempt to push for his pardon might arouse suspicion of collusion.

 

Yvelont Navarre - Former knight-errant of House Fortemps, previously believed to be deceased. However, his death was staged as part of a plan to assassinate his step-father, Chatelaine, which ultimately succeeded. His confession cleared the names of Percevains and Lady Arillaine, whereupon he turned himself in for his crime. Denying any involvement on his brother's part, he was taken into custody and currently awaits trial.

 

Lady Arillaine Navarre - Mother of Percevains and Yvelont, framed by the latter for the murder of her late husband, Chatelaine. Though Yvelont's confession has cleared her own name in the eyes of the law, she remains conflicted by her son's choice to turn himself in.
